wealth. (interlude)

Yeah
Fuck, look
My father known since I was born I had a genius mind but
Minding my manners, I need practice or some teaching time
My phone be buzzing, DND is just for peace of mind
I matched my words up to my actions 'fore I even rhymed
And who depending on me?
Like cold freezing in winter
I can't remember
Sowing green 'til I grow trees in my denim
The reason I send 'em to guillotines
Appeasing my pen or
Decree my every word as law
'Cause if I speak em I meant 'em
Fuck it a piece of my mental
Is hanging by a string
Cherish my people, I'm with em
But they gon want everything
And that been taxing me
Half of me
Feel withered down
And bad for me
Other fifty gon pastor me
Remind me of what I have to be

This is the interlude
This is the interlude
The interlude
The interlude

I've been stressed out
Once a week I fall away and just pout
But by the time the sun returns
I'll prolly puff my chest out
You'd probably never know or tell
'Cause I'm putting my best out
This rhyming shit like show and tell
And you know what the rest bout
It's business, money
But isn't it funny?
Locked away, working for eighteen hours
Isn't it sunny???
I ain't seen it shine in seven days
The one memory that never fades
Is laying up at night like
Is this shit really for me?
And I just won again
Won again
Win again
Once again
I raise the question
Why am I still stressing 'bout it once it ends?
Why don't I never feel fulfilled
When I've inspired other men
To raise up arms
Build a palace up like Buckingham
And momma don't understand man
It's only one command I'll never follow
Sleep can heal
A pill I'll never swallow
Taking breaks could break the cycle
Making money sing like Aiko
Make them numbers look like typos
I don't care whatever follows, fuck

This is the interlude
This is the interlude
The interlude
The interlude

I write this newest bit
To you
Whose broken mind is used to this
Idea that power's greatest power's only found abusing it
Though I can't find the truth in it
I finally found a use for it
'Cause fuck it if the rumor fits
Then why not shoot the shits
A little bit
Little miss angel on my shoulders probably hold me down
Abuse myself with work
And when it hurts I've only found
That weight gon feel like boulders rolling
Teardrops is the only sound
You heard for miles
Then we smile niggas bring they homies 'round
Celebrate with the masses
Then I work in solitude, relax with
Pretty-women-spending
A write off for my taxes
Add a business to my name
All for the game and just to have it
Had to limit my ambitions and shit
Then I went past it
And it's a habit
Poor tendency if anything
But then I'm rich
Could do a spending spree on anything
Who tokened money can't buy happiness?
And shit, what did it mean?
In my mind, happiness is happiest
When mixed with different things, fuck

This is the interlude
This is the interlude
The interlude
The interlude

Niggas thought that I was finished
Shit, think again
'Cause it'll probably be a minute 'fore I sink again
And somewhere up there floating 'round inside my genius mind
I like to act like I invented finding peace again
Was peace the genesis of my story?
No it was not
But one thing 'bout being Corleone
You was wrote for the plot
Shit I was hoping to jot
It left me hoping a lot
Been up here my entire life
I know it's lonely atop
Don't tell me 'bout that shit
I grew up round the niggas with a house that sit
Right on top the lake but shit they had to make the fountain fit
Marriages bound by four kids or four mortgages
Be sure divorce makes sense
Before forcing pens
Cause they first priority
The credit score porcelain
Then the next priority is get the four Porsche rims
They prolly don't admire because the scorch of my skin
And so I work until I bleed
The means for forcing my mental
That's probably why I pour so much more to my pencil
Than I pour in my health
Shit I wrote until I welt
Might as well have gone and cut the fucking corners on myself
'Cause until the sun sets in the east
I do it for

Wealth
Wealth, wealth
Wealth
Wealth
Wealth
Wealth, wealth, wealth
